Today, my parents, who are out of town but driving back tomorrow, called to see how I was doing. While they were gone I threw a party, but when asked I told them no, to which my dad responded " Well I'm currently looking at pictures on facebook of our kitchen with beer and a bong on the table." FML
I agree, your life sucks (8359) - you totally deserved it (71684)

lol tell em all the houses look the same :P
if that doesnt work.....it was apple juice. the bong was a vase for the roses you wanted to surprise your parents with to show them how much cared
also its stupid to take pics of illegal activities.... ydi......
you do know employers these days try to find as much about you as possible including looking through facebook haha. just an fyi...

def. #1. my mom is very incompetent when it comes to computers THANK GOD. so no worries there for facebook.. although a lot of her friends want to befriend me. ya. right. like im going to become friends with my moms friends. riiiight. in their dreams.
Put them on a block list so they can't see pictures of you. Next time you have a party, check cameras at the door because pictures are just generally a bad idea.
You know... you can Choose who can see your pictures on Facebook. Just sayin'.

Well truth be told don't lie to your parents if you want them to have any of their respect or trust. Also remember if you are in the USA or Canada that if something goes wrong its their ass that goes to jail even if they aren't there.

That's why I don't use facebook anymore. Actually when I think about it, I don't have any friends now either. FML
#8 - On 03/19/2009 at 7:21am by btopishere
When are people going to realize parents generally aren't stupid? I'm betting even if your parents didn't see the facebook pictures, they'd find out; parents did well before facebook and the internet was around. You just gave them an easier way to do it, with evidence, and props to them. What do you need pictures of that shit for anyway?
You deserved that shit, son. God damn.
#9 - On 03/19/2009 at 7:23am by Minstrels
Well that's what you get when you smoke weed at a young age. Stupid children who can't even put up blocks on their facebook pictures.
Being bested by your parents on a technological level is just embarrassing. I hope you take this as a lesson to not do drugs or drink.. They will make you even stupider than you currently are.
that's why i don't let my parents, or my brother, add me on facebook :)
#12 - On 03/19/2009 at 8:07am by citylights
It could have been a seen on their siblings facebook, or the OP might have been dumb enough to friend their parents.
If it was on your siblings and they ratted you out, unfriend them, and in their sleep cut their face.
If it was on your parent...then you deserved it and more.
#13 - On 03/19/2009 at 8:11am by truelyajerk
...wow...way to go idiot...i'm just absolutly speechless at your...just...wow...
#14 - On 03/19/2009 at 8:23am by madame_malfoy
YDI, plain and simple. I'm in a fraternity and I don't even have photos of us drinking legally since alot of major buisnesses like to thumb through them.
Seriously? If you were dumb enough to allow pictures of you engaging in illegal activity to be displayed on the internet, then you deserve what you got.
#17 - On 03/19/2009 at 8:41am by mylifesucks_alot
If you have a Facebook account you should know NOT to put party pictures up and make sure your friends don't either. My parents have Facebook accounts too and I set the privacy settings so that they won't see the pictures tagged of me. And when my friends tag me I always untag myself.
I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me. Damn parents and facebook.
#21 - On 03/19/2009 at 9:26am by CodyGuitarist
Evreryone's on facebook, deal with it! When you put pics on it, you got to assume that most of the people will be able to see them a way or another.
Wow when your friends stop taking pictures of everytime they drink a beer you will be able to have a party...
Will kids ever learn NOT to put party pictures on facebook?
#25 - On 03/19/2009 at 9:57am by BootsMegamix
haha fail. you totally deserved that one. if your parents have a facebook why would you put pictures from your party up?
#26 - On 03/19/2009 at 10:00am by amykillswitch
All above posters are idiots.
No where does it imply that the pictures were posted on OP's facebook. It could be from anyone.
Assuming makes an ass out of you and me.
paranoid = then you're saying his parents know the people at the party rather than on their kid's facebook
lol thats what this new gen of social gets you, thank god my parents don't know jack about this stuff
This is a beginner's mistake.
1. NEVER accept a parent's friend invitation on Facebook.
a. Make sure photos are set to be viewed by 'friends only.'
2. Make a separate account for family.
3. Don't post incriminating photos online if there's even the slightest chance they would be seen and used against you.
But I agree with #33. Tell your parents it was a prank to catch them on your Facebook profile, and act triumphant that it worked. "Clearly, this was all Photoshop'd..."
how can you do something like that?! hasnt anyone learned of the curse that is FACEBOOK? when i got married it took only a day before all the people i didnt want finding out were sending me congratulatory messages.
#35 - On 03/19/2009 at 12:06pm by amkoverboard
If you throw a party, take pictures, post them on facebook, and don't put a privacy block on them, you deserve everything that happens afterward.
#36 - On 03/19/2009 at 12:15pm by TheSkaAssassin
#29: So the kid's parents were Facebook-stalking his/her friends looking for pictures like that? If your parents are that paranoid, you deserved it.
#37 - On 03/19/2009 at 12:17pm by StopWhiningPpl
didn't you learn by now to put your parents on limited profile? @ #34, you don't need to make a seperate account...you can block so many things people can see...
#38 - On 03/19/2009 at 12:28pm by sucka_free
#29 makes a good point.
Taking pictures of potentially illegal activity is perfectly acceptable as long as they aren't on your facebook. I mean, your parents can't do anything about it if it's on someone else's facebook!
No...
Wait...
Hold on...
They still deserved it. There's a reason they call it "Dope" and not "smart" ...People are stupid.
yeah, same thing happened to me. my parents don't have a facebook so i thought i would be safe, but my brother, (who is only a year older than me and i usually get along with super well), thought it would be really cool to show them the pictures my friend posted. i have since told all my friends to delete him, and he can only see my limited profile.
#41 - On 03/19/2009 at 1:14pm by lostinthought
You could have avoided this pretty easily if you weren't so stupid. First, you could try not lying or throwing parties in houses that don't belong to you. Second, you could do what everyone else has said about blocking who sees your pictures. Of course, if they were someone else's pictures, there's no way you could have avoided that, but if you and your parents have mutual friends on facebook, then you should have guessed that they would probably find out about your party. In fact, pictures aside, it's usually pretty easy to tell. The fact that you thought that they were as dumb as you are just compounds your stupidity here.
that's why my parents aren't friends with myself or my friends. I don't need pictures of my friends and I going out on their newsfeed or having them facebook creep me.
#43 - On 03/19/2009 at 1:52pm by usmcgirl25
ha ha ha … way to go slick! so glad i grew up when the internet wasn't around...i'm old FML
#46 - On 03/19/2009 at 2:36pm by Neenertastic
1 additional tip? Get new friends!! If it was on a friends' profile, and they posted pics of a party, they're idiots! Glad my friends are a little better than that...FYL
Gee, put info about yourself out on the net, and then act surprised when people know stuff about you! FAIL
#49 - On 03/19/2009 at 3:00pm by Uniquitous
i feel bad for you, but you kinda deserved it for letting pictures get put up online. look what happened to michael phelps for stupid shit like this
.... you don't know how to hide stuff from people on facebook? how old are you? if you're a freshmen in high school.. there's reason why facebook should still be invite only and for high school seniors and college students
#53 - On 03/19/2009 at 3:44pm by jusz
Clearly its your own dumb fault and isn't a FML its a FMS (F My Stupidity)...:)
#54 - On 03/19/2009 at 4:16pm by StupidDancer
Everybody's on Facebook now, even 80-plus-year-olds I know. And they're all connected somehow -- you can't wall your parents off.
Hell, I'm older than most of your parents, and I have 400+ friends on Facebook, mostly unsolicited contacts already known from offline life.
Go ahead and lie to your parents about private sexual matters -- I did, decades ago -- but don't lie about using their house for a party.
#55 - On 03/19/2009 at 4:18pm by streetpattern
why would you put up pictures or allow them to be put on facebook if you knew your parents had one?
#57 - On 03/19/2009 at 4:23pm by hunkydory51
Next time, ask yourself, would I be ok with this picture on the front page of a magazine or newspaper? If the answer is no, don't put it on Facebook.
People just get more and more stupid over time. We're screwed!
if your parents are on fb, dont let them see your profile and definitely not your friends. you dont control what your friends put up and theyre not thinking about your parents when they put up their pictures. if you just ask them once to not be friends with them, or to put them on limited, then youre okay. but theyre not going to remember everytime, so just nip it in the bud from the beginning.
#59 - On 03/19/2009 at 4:44pm by shehzeenahmed
I did this once and it ended with a picture of my ex-girlfriends boobs going around. And my parents got the picture too.
#60 - On 03/19/2009 at 4:53pm by mailboxbilly
Wow you are stupid, why would you put such pictures on facebook, it's like "look at this, i'm breaking the law lol"
And thats why puting your life on facebook is a bad idea. Try running for some elected office later in life and watch those bastards bring up those photos. Facebook now owns all your photos you put up btw.
That's why you make your facebook page private. I agree with #2. That was a rookie mistake. You deserved it.
remember a similar story w/ a senior in H.S. who ended up being suspended from his senior year of basketball b/c they found pics of him drinking at a party on facebook. this stupidity makes me smile. when will kids realize that if they take pictures people will find out. nieve retards like this make my day.
This is why you don't accept your parents as facebook friends
#67 - On 03/19/2009 at 6:42pm by XxGivesMEhellxX
well you sort of deserved that one..
haha shouldnt have had the party in the first place, but hey i understand if my parents went out of town for a night, id probably have a party too not gonna lie !! but beers and bongs just take it way outta hand.. especially with pictures..AND adding them to facebook
stupid stupid stupid
The best way to avoid getting caught is to avoid putting up incriminating photos in the first place, and making sure that nobody else does either. Even if you put up a limited profile, there's still the chance that some idiot will post pictures of the party. What's worse, the kinds of people that decide to post every picture from every party they've been to probably either have a public profile or accept everyone who friends them without a second thought. If you know anyone like this, either take their camera or don't invite them in the first place.
#71 - On 03/19/2009 at 8:38pm by cthulhu1138
i agree that your life sucks (thus i voted that your life is effed), because you can't control what goes on other people's facebooks! i'm assuming that you're not enough of a dipshit to post pictures of your own party on your own page for your parents to see, and it would be impossible to moderate every camera at the party to make sure no one else posts pics on their own page. i'm sorry for your misfortune.
@ #1 what makes you think your parents either desire or require your permission? =/
Anyway, OP totally deserved that one. Quit being a jerk and save the parties for college or later.
#74 - On 03/19/2009 at 10:46pm by deliciouskaek
Thanks to Facebook, parents in teen movies no longer have to come home early.
#76 - On 03/19/2009 at 11:39pm by Dragonmouth
I hate stories like this because they give gay ass people ar eason to be like" blah blah blah don't do drugs". Those are the real dumbasses. Along with the person who made this topic, he's a dumbfuck too. I always get pissed at people taking pics because I know they will end up on facebook and are incriminating as fuck.
#79 - On 03/20/2009 at 1:51am by omgshesgotballs
next time don't take pictures of you and your friends doing illegal activities. lmao.
#81 - On 03/20/2009 at 3:16am by wotchersarah
and that is why i dont throw house parties, smoke weed and then lie to my parents about it
but everyone has different life choices i guess, that was just a silly one
#82 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:15am by Hubblebubble
seriously... never post pictures of anything you don't want seen by certain people... they always get seen in the end.
#83 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:27am by callmecorn
i dont agree with any of you who said he deserved it..if u are all jealous that the kid parties and u dont so u say he deserved is kinda low...dont lower someone to ur boring and pathetic ways just to boost ur own egos. my tip to u OP, keep having fun..life is short.
Haha that was sooo stupid of you to post them online! Wow. Totally deserved that one.
#85 - On 03/20/2009 at 10:10am by babydoll86
GJ, idiota. Learn how to use Facebook's privacy settings for next time.
#87 - On 03/21/2009 at 9:37am by libertyprime

How the fuck do u know how old this dude is?

#88 - On 03/21/2009 at 7:48pm by smileyfaceman80
hahahaha epic fail! thts why you dont add your parents on facebook idiot! bahaha you made my day.
#89 - On 03/23/2009 at 1:48am by ashcakesssxox
you're a fuckin idiot. seriously check the box in facebook that makes it private or don't post party pics on there moron.
#90 - On 03/23/2009 at 4:47pm by snowhawk22
YDI
that was an amazingly stupid thing to do
i think thats the dumbest thing ive heard all day
thanks for making my day X].
#93 - On 03/24/2009 at 11:51pm by rubyreddest
It does not say anywhere in his fml that HE posted pictures on HIS facebook so he didnt deserve it....could have been anyone else on his friend's list. refer to post 84 (:
Now see, the problem isn't the party - it's that your understanding of trust networks is fuzzy.
If you can't throw a party without some nitwit posting pictures of it on FaceBook, you don't know and understand the crowd you're hanging out with well enough to trust them. This implies your own judgment may be flawed, and maybe you shouldn't be throwing parties for those people, and should be more responsible about who you do stuff with. At the very least, you have immature friends, who either knowingly did something that could have gotten you all in lots of trouble, or you have friends who will invite such careless people... and you weren't paying enough attention to what was going on to prevent it.
I'm sure that parents often expect that if they go away, their kids will get up to stuff. If you're not going to be honest with your parents about what you do (dishonesty makes it so they can't trust you when they find out), you could at least refrain from being so sloppy that they think that you are an immature twit, or develop the impression that you think they're stupid. None of that makes for good relations with the parents.
I think most kids will do stuff that their parents would tell them not to. It's part of growing up.
When you're responsible enough to be discrete, not get caught, not leave evidence of your shindig, that's at least responsibility, and evidence you can take care of yourself.
When your parents see your friends using a bong on your kitchen table, via the internet, or they find a joint between the couch cushions, or all their liquor is gone and the carpet has vomit in it... or if you turn up pregnant... these are all signs that you haven't learned discretion.
#96 - On 03/27/2009 at 9:00am by CoyoteOldOne
A lot of people don't realize that sometimes parents log in to their kids' facebook/Myspace. It's a trust thing.
#110 - On 06/06/2009 at 2:49pm by Ub3r_Crippl3
YDI for being such a retard. You don't post picture of you doing illegal shit on facebook, you fuckup.
#112 - On 06/22/2009 at 10:20pm by jewelzgalore
I Know how you feel. My parents are very strict and conservative so I have to do a daily sweep to make sure there's nothing on facebook that alludes to the fact that I drink... or that I'm gay
Hopefully this'll be a lesson in responsibility, even if you didn't take the pictures.
#115 - On 08/07/2009 at 1:37am by PutDownTheGun
who said anything about the fact that he posted the pictures? There are people at parties... maybe some one had a camera.
